Roma Cannot Afford Real Madrid Striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy - Ernesto Bronzetti
Bronzetti claims Roma will not be able to sign Van Nistelrooy because of tough economic barriers...
The Lupi have been linked with a number of target men including Van Nistelrooy, as well as Flamengo's Adriano and Bayern Munich outcast Luca Toni.
Roma were close to Van Nistelrooy, but Bronzetti, who has major links at Los Merengues, claims the Italians will not be able to meet the player's high economic demands.
"The only player that Roma can sign is Toni. As for Van Nistelrooy, the transfer is unlikely as he earns €6million per season. His contract is set to expire and he is looking for a two year deal," the agent told Teleradiostereo.
"Adriano? If he returns to Europe then he will be looking for big wages, but I don't think he will head back to Italy."
On Wednesday, Il Corriere Dello Sport reported Roma were looking to retrench on their wage bill by offloading a number of high earners.
